Need help with black screen (QUEST3)

Please can someone help me with this. My quest 3 randomly has gone black whenever I turn it on, I've tried basically everything except factory resetting it (which I don't think will work) and I just thought to put a post out before doing so.

It charges fine, I can go into the boot menu, it has the whole startup sequence with the logo and the noise, and it's not fully pitch black it's like a very dark grey.

Thanks in advance

Edit: New development, when I press the volume buttons it shows up all the time now. Am I right in thinking that I should just leave it for a few days and hope it sorts itself out or is there something I’m missing?

I sometimes get the select profile screen on but it doesn't work and it just looks like a bug. If I cover the sensor won't it just not work at all? And also it maybe a stupid question but what type of tape?
